If you want to reduce your sugar intake or replace it with a less refined product, you should think about honey. Recent studies have shown that honey is much healthier than sugar. Honey is sweeter than sugar, which means you need to take less. In this article, you will learn an easy way to properly use honey instead of sugar.

Ingredients

• Honey (about a quarter of the amount of sugar commonly used)

Steps

1. 1 Remember that honey has a stronger flavor and aroma.
2. 2 Instead of 1 tablespoon of sugar (5 milliliters), use a quarter teaspoon (1 milliliter) of honey. Another way - one unit of the amount of honey replaces one and one-fourth units of the amount of sugar (that is, the ratio should be 4: 5).
3. 3 When you make a recipe, you need to make the necessary adjustments for the amount of liquid in the honey (see Tips).

Tips

• One cup of honey contains 1/4 cup (80 milliliters) of water this means that the amount of liquid indicated in the recipe must be reduced accordingly.
• Honey has a pretty strong aroma, so use it carefully in your recipes. For example, if you bake a fruit cake and use honey instead of sugar, the taste of the honey will overpower the natural flavor of the fruit.
• Do not heat the oven above 150 degrees Celsius when using honey, otherwise it will darken.
• Honey is hygroscopic, meaning it has the ability to absorb moisture. This means that if you use honey instead of sugar, your baked goods will be more moist.
